Mother's Day, Petes and Queens

In honor of this 100th Mother's Day, the traditional must-give gift to your precious mother is a whiute carnation.

Former NFL Commissioner "Pete" Rozelle was born not "Pete", but Alvin Ray Rozelle, in South Gate, California.

Queens, New York, is thought to have been named for Catherine of Braganza, the queen consort, wife of Charles II of England. She suffered at least two miscarriages and never produced an heir.
